DAWN OF WAR 2 WINDOWS

The game has many strengths, and itвЂ™s great fun to play. Maybe itвЂ™s art style, maybe there are some bugs that still need to be sorted out. AoE4 is the first title I can recall playing where I turned settings up to max and said: вЂњI thought that would look betterвЂќ. My experience most often on the release of a new title has been to crank graphics all the way up, say to myself: вЂњWow, that looks amazing but runs like crapвЂќ, and then turn the settings down to something playable. IвЂ™ve played many RTS titles over the years, going all the way back to Dune 2. But IвЂ™m not the only one with said opinion, as you can clearly see from the thread history on this forum. But I canвЂ™t help but feel youвЂ™re focusing on the specific things Age IV doesnвЂ™t invest in as much, without highlighting its comparative strengths. The unit textures are far less crisp than they are here in Age IV, for example. There are tons of things in CoH that donвЂ™t hold up today. If you think CoH looks better, youвЂ™re perfectly fine to have that opinion.

Support for multi-processor systems? The game has that. Detailed models and textures? The game has them.

It makes no sense for Age of Empires, with its massive armies and massive amounts of casualties (that you replace, instead of healing, most of the time).ДЄ bunch of things you have listed, the game has. CanвЂ™t figure out strikethrough on this forum, so just ignore the above paragraphs.Дestructible environments? In a medieval RTS? What are arrows going to do, blow stones apart? Massively detailed faces? Why? WhatвЂ™s the business case here? It makes sense in a game like Company of Heroes (or Dawn of War II), with its emphasis on smaller-scale, tactical combat. You implement what you need, accounting for development time available.Д®DIT - whoops, I missed that you said the engine was capable of it already. Not everyone who integrates with Blackboard will integrate with every single API call listed. LetвЂ™s take Blackboard, a popular VLE vendor in higher and further education. ItвЂ™s comparable to having an API for something. The engine having support for something is not the same as that support being implemented for a specific game. I cannot understand why that would be the case. Detailed faces with animations? Weather effects? Detailed models and textures (more so than the original CoH engine)? Support for multi-processor systems? Destructible environments?Дespite the engine being capable of all these features, it seems very few of them are present in AoE4 to any noticeable degree. Essence 3.0 also incorporates a weather-simulating technology known as ColdTech which allows for realistic obstacles and destructible environments. In contrast to traditional unit visibility, TrueSight more accurately represents a unitвЂ™s visibility range based on environmental conditions and type of unit. Improvement to the engine featured in the game include the new line-of-sight technology, TrueSight, which aims to better emulate troop visibility in real combat.

In Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, the Essence Engine was further improved to include weather effects, and also added support for DirectX 10 on Windows Vista.Дawn of War II uses an updated version of Essence Engine (Essence 2.0) which allows for more detailed models and textures more advanced lighting and shading effects more complex вЂњsync-killsвЂќ than those in Dawn of War and better support for multi-processor systems.Д¬ompany of Heroes 2 is the first game to feature the 3rd generation of the Essence Engine (Essence 3.0) which features DirectX 11 support. The Essence Engine is also one of the first RTS engines to create detailed faces with facial animations. The Essence Engine featured many new graphical effects at the time it was introduced, including high-dynamic-range lighting, dynamic lighting and shadows, advanced shader effects and normal mapping. Look at this list of features I took from the Essence engine Wiki page (Highlights added by me):
